Since I wrote "that I don't have a clue what to write", it is contradictory to that I don't have a clue what to write.

To avoid being under suspicion:

I very much enjoyed the movie, it had a lot of subtle moments that I liked very much. The acting was very well done and I highly recommend it to those that want their brains woken up and have to think about what's going on. I would very much like to see it a second time, as there are parts of it that I would love to see again.

Just noticed that I made it to the bonus challenge and one of the top 7; do you by any chance have a clue as to what the prize is?

56. High and Low (1963)
A really good Kurosawa noir film. Very cool kidnapping story, and I loved the police procedural aspect to it. Through no fault of its own, I didn't connect with it all that well, but it was still a very enjoyable watch.

57. Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)
This just didn't work for me. There was some cool stuff, but it felt too slow - I wanted more assault, less waiting. Kinda got bored a bit.

58. Charllie's Angels (2000)
I liked this a lot more back in the day.

59. Wind River (2017)
This was really good - a Western Mystery Thriller set on a reservation in Wyoming. A young woman is found frozen in the snow, raped. So the FBI and tribal police investigate. Beautiful scenery and a slow burn thriller with a hell of a climax and a surprisingly satisfying ending. Definitely recommended, and going on my favorites list.

Can you post the results in Horror 16 max? Seems there are no table at all there. I only have stats for everything combined. Post it in the end at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2624 perhaps. Or maybe I need new glasses

Spoiler tag of the week
One of my favorite part of hosting challenges is reading the captions people put on the spoiler tags. This week's winner is me, maxwelldeux for "Maxwelldeux, in the ICM Forum, with the Razor-Sharp Wit" because I made an awesome Clue reference and I'm going to force you to look at it one more time. Congrats to me!
